Let's see if we can find any differences. Which party supports gun laws? Which party supports women's rights to bodily autonomy? Which party supports mail in ballots? Which party believes that there was an attempted insurrection on Jan 6, 2021? Which party does not tout the 'stollen' election lie? Which party knows 'stollen' is not how you spell stolen? (Just a little joke to break up the wall of text.

Now for a few other points which may help you see if they're both the same...

Which party refuses to even discuss putting any limits on gun rights? Which party believes a single cell nonviable organism trump's a woman's right to bodily autonomy? Which party thinks mail in ballots are an absolute no-go? Which party believes what happened on Jan 6 was a "peaceful protest"? Which party tells its constituents that the 2020 election was stolen?

And last, but most importantly of all, which party has closed ranks around a past president who tried to overthrow the counting of the electoral counts, who has been caught on several audio recordings pressuring state officials to throw out their electoral votes?

Maybe it's just me, but I see a BIG difference.

My car's engine requires it. It is a turbocharged engine. Gets great gas mileage and runs great!

That's what it took to get to the fetus and remove it. And they're blaming her for not doing it. There she was with a partially retained placenta, in danger of bleeding out, and she had the nerve to leave her toilet intact in order to obtain timely life saving health care.

And don't forget, she'd been to the hospital multiple times and left because she wasn't receiving care...all hospital caregivers and 'legal teams' were too busy trying to figure out if they could legally remove a dead fetus; they wouldn't do what needed to be done. Just left her sitting there while they argued intent of the law versus letter of the law.

"She put the fetus into the toilet." No, she didn't. The fetus was expelled into the toilet, along with bodily waste. She tried to get everything out, but she couldn't.

"She then went about her day." No, she didn't. She went to the hospital. She was bleeding (probably heavily) due to part of the placenta being left attached.

That's just two of the twisted statements the prosecutor has made in order to make this woman look like a heartless SOB.

It's gone too far, and short of removing Republicans from office and justices from the court, I don't know what we can do. They are prosecuting this woman to punish her for miscarrying in an inconvenient place.

It's worth mentioning that just 11 days earlier, had her miscarriage happened at the hospital, it would have been disposed of as medical waste...incinerated. 11 freaking days, and the state is criminalizing her.

When, America? When do we all work together to do something about this?

Oh, the irony.

It's supposed to be anti both, but I worded it a little ambiguously!

Have you read any holy books? They're filled with god-ordained killings.

I guess if we want to be respectful to religion, we should stone him and the preacher can get as close as he wants. I bet he wouldn't have a problem standing at a distance in that scenario.

I wouldn't have any questions, just immediate concern.

I'd start looking for the nearest mental health facility and check myself in due to having visual and auditory hallucinations.

There is no devil.

My dad died in his late 80s of Parkinson's. For at least a decade before his diagnosis he'd tell me that everyday when he woke up, he'd lost another piece of himself. He went from an active man in his early to mid 70s--he rode his bike 25 miles a day and weight lifted--to a shadow of himself very quickly.

It was tough to watch, and so much tougher for him facing loss after loss of his abilities. He spoke several times of "releasing" himself, but ultimately decided not to do it.

We are living longer, but that isn't always to our benefit.

My great great grandfather fought in the civil war, my great grandfathers and great uncles fought in the World Wars, one of them in the Battle of the Bulge; my dad was a medic in Korea, my brother was in Afghanistan...there is absolutely nothing about the inhumanity of war that I would not believe.

To disbelieve any of them is to disbelieve reality.

I'm in Louisiana, and I think the number CAN be that high.
